Celestial Biochemistry

Celestial Biochemistry was a biochemical system that originated on Juldice around 7 billion years before the time of the Galactic Republic. It was spread to worlds throughout the Galaxy around 5,000,000,000 BBY by the Celestials during the time of the First Celestial Range, to such an enormous extent that it became the most common biochemical system in the Galaxy.

The biochemical systems that governed the bodies and technologies of the Yuuzhan Vong had many similarities to Celestial Biochemistry, indicating that the Celestials may have deposited their biochemicals in their galaxy as well, possibly on their home planet of Yuuzhan'tar.

The odd abundance of Celestial Biochemistry in the Galaxy was known as the Biochemical Anomaly.

Chemistry
Celestial Biochemistry was composed of three major groups of organic molecules: hexose carbon sugars, amino acids, hydrocarbon-based lipids and phosphate-sugar-amine compounds.

All these chemicals were polymerized to form large, immensely complex molecules, many of which were capable of interacting with the Force, especially those found in Midichlorians, symbiotic organisms found inside the main cells of all Juldice-based life.

The sugars and lipids were used for energy, the amino acids were polymerized for structure and advanced biochemical machinery, and the phosphate-sugar-amine compounds were polymerized to act as genetic information.
